With a full tank-average mixed intown and out-approx how may miles before the low fuel light comes on? How far have you intentionally gone to see what/how much gas is left before you get in trouble?. Inquiring minds want to know.

I have a new 2016 MP3 500 with about 300 miles so far. I've been filling the gas tank and getting around 115 miles before the light comes on. It took 2.1 gallons (US) to fill before the pump shut off.

the fuel pump is located inside the gas tank and the gas that surrounds it keeps it cooled. I do not recommend running low on fuel regularly.
1/4 tank fill it up and never have to worry. |

With my commute I am pretty much stuck filling at 130 miles.
The first few days commuting I would start the 'out of gas clock', but after that I typically don't get below 3/4 on the gauge. 2.45 gallons for the 130 miles is about what I put in at the end of the day (literally). |

Does everyones gas gauge go up to the top when you refill? Mine only goes to about 7/8 of the tank before the pump shuts off even if I go real slow.

I went back onto my profile setting and added MP3. 500 . Maybe I am doing something wrong. I will try again.

Mine came on today at about 120 miles...only the 2nd fill up I've done on this one; last one I filled at 100 just to start a ride with a full tank.
I suspect I would get better mileage if I didn't have a lead wrist. |
